In the ‘Monday Motivation’ series, we are going to tell you about this inspiring journey of Prabhu Deva. There is a saying in English that ‘Practice makes a man perfect’ and it fits perfectly with Prabhudeva. Prabhudeva did not take any official training in dance from anywhere. But by dancing with father and practicing himself, he created dance steps, which everyone follows today.
Prabhu Deva Birthday:
Prabhudeva was born on 3 April 1973 in Mysore. His father Mugur Sundar was a dance choreographer. Taking inspiration from his father, Prabhudheva started taking interest in dance. Prabhudeva used to dance at home and everyone used to be surprised to see his talent. Later Prabhudeva learned Bharatanatyam and some western style dance forms. After this Prabhudheva started as a background dancer in films. He first appeared in the role of a boy playing a flute in the 1986 Tamil film Mouna Ragam. After this he appeared in a film as a background dancer.
First chance from Kamal Haasan’s film
Prabhudeva got his break as a choreographer in 1989 with Kamal Haasan’s film Vetri Vizha. After this Prabhudeva never looked back. Since then, Prabhudeva has choreographed dance in more than 100 films. After choreography, Prabhudheva also debuted in acting and left a different impression.
Prabhu Deva Inspirational Story Monday Motivation:
Prabhudeva’s career started at the age of 15. Sometimes in everyone’s life such an opportunity or moment comes which acts as a ‘trigger shot’ for him. That is, the moment that changes the whole life. Prabhudheva got this trigger shot when he failed in 11th class and father patted him instead of scolding him. Then what Prabhudheva’s father told him while patting his back, remained with the actor forever and because of that Prabhudheva became the country’s biggest dance choreographer and ‘dancing guru’.
Prabhudeva took revenge on Ajay Devgan!
That talk of father changed life
Prabhudeva had said about this in an interview given to ‘IDiva’, ‘I did not study and failed in 11th class. I thought my father would beat me. I was scared. But to my surprise, he patted my back and said don’t worry. Do whatever you want in life. Even when I wanted to enter films, my father supported me. There is a trigger point in everyone’s life and that was the point in my life when my father allowed me to do whatever I wanted.
Jamai Dhak in acting and direction too
When Prabhudeva entered films, he created a stir. Not only was everyone crazy about his dancing style, Prabhudheva did wonders in acting and direction as well. Prabhudheva directed many films in his career, including films like ‘Wanted’, ‘Pokkiri’, ‘Shankar Dada’, ‘Raadu Rathore’, ‘Singh is Bling’, ‘Dabangg 3’ and ‘Radhe’. Prabhudheva made his Bollywood debut as a director with Salman starrer ‘Wanted’.
When Prabhudeva was killed by paralysis
The year 2016 brought a lot of trouble for Prabhudheva when he was paralyzed during the shooting of the song ‘Tutak Tutak Tutiya’. When Prabhudeva was dancing, he suddenly got paralyzed during a step. Prabhudeva told that he was not able to move his body at all. Before he could understand anything, he fell on the ground. Prabhudeva was then immediately taken to the hospital. Then the doctors told that it was a temporary paralysis which was caused by the stretching of the muscle. Today Prabhudheva is very fit and healthy and is active in films. He will soon be seen in two films ‘Bagheera’ and ‘Flashback’.
